Damona Takes on Modern Dating Culture with Access Daily
Damona joined Kit Hoover and Mario Lopez on Access Daily for a conversation that mixed humor with hard-hitting dating strategy.
The topic that got everyone talking? A new study suggests you’re actually more likely to meet someone at Costco than through a dating app. Damona flipped the script: “I think of dating like marketing. You want to be somewhere where there’s high volume, low competition.” Her advice? Think beyond the apps and consider places like Home Depot on a Saturday—where the odds might actually be in your favor.
From there, the conversation shifted to the wild world of dating terminology. Damona broke down “flood lighting” (when someone overshares so much on a first date that it’s blinding instead of revealing) and “hat fishing” (when the baseball cap comes off and surprises follow). But the real message landed when she talked about ghosting culture. With a quarter of singles experiencing it, Damona believes a dose of humor might be exactly what we need to call out bad behavior and actually create change.

When Damona joined Kit Hoover and Scott Evans on Access Daily, things got real—fast. From the moment she dropped the price tag on matchmaking, jaws hit the floor. But the real takeaway? You don’t need to drop $10K to find love. “You are your own best matchmaker,” Damona said, and suddenly the game changed.
She walked through how outdated dating lists, wishful thinking (aka “hopium”), and ghosting culture are keeping people stuck—and how small shifts in clarity and intention can unlock totally new results. Whether it’s how to introduce your kids to someone new or why Gen Z is avoiding one-on-one dates, Damona gave every viewer something to think about—and something to laugh at. As always, she brought the honesty, strategy, and heart that’s made her a trusted voice in modern dating.

Together with our guest panel, Damona and Carol unpack what your dating life can learn from the experiences of those who have a different sexual orientation or gender identity than you do.
D’S DATING DISH
Why are divorce rates going down?
Thanks millennials! According to Time, a recent study shows that divorce rates dropped 18% from 2008 to 2016 and this is due mostly to the lower divorce rates among millennials. Is it really all that surprising that millennials are divorcing less than generations before them? We don’t think so.
What can you learn from Gen Z daters
According to a study done by the dating app Zoosk, there are a number things that Gen Z does right when it comes to dating. Gen Zers are the least picky daters and swipe right on 33% of the matches they are presented with. How can this help you and what else can you learn from this study? We have answers.
Your childhood faves have a new relationship status!
It’s been a few weeks since former Sesame Street writer, Mark Saltzman, confirmed that Bert and Ernie are indeed a gay couple. The official Sesame Workshop says differently, however. Does it matter whether Bert and Ernie are gay? Does representation matter – even in kids programming? Or are we taking the puppet relationship dynamic too far? The discussion heats up this week.
IDENTITY, SEXUALITY, AND GENDER
Sexuality and Gender Identity: Are they fixed or fluid? How do you know if the way you’ve been living or dating might be limiting your possibility of finding true love and happiness? We sat down with Jasmine Luna and Harry Caldwell to learn more about their experience.
